Job 2:7–10, “So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.”
As soon as Satan had permission from the Lord, he raced out to attack Job. It is good to note that Satan was not allowed to attack Job without first getting permission. The Lord knows His own people and how much they can bear and He will not allow Satan to take anyone, who believes in the Lord, beyond their breaking point. As long a we, who believe in the Lord, trust Him we will be safe and secure from all Satan’s evil, destructive plans. Job had boils all over his body so his body just became a well of pain. We should note here that the place of extreme pain is the loneliest place on earth. Job sat on the ground and tried to take the pressure out of the boils by breaking them open with shards of pottery and letting the core out. Job’s wife struggled to cope with the situation and encouraged Job just to give up, curse God and die, for that would deliver him from the pain. However, Job believed that the Lord is sovereign on the earth and accepted that the Lord God knew what He was doing. Job remembered that the Sovereign Lord had given him many good things in his life and now he decided that the Sovereign Lord was broadening his experiences.
